A class action lawsuit has been filed against two California-based healthcare companies, alleging a series of labor law violations that have deprived employees of rightful wages and benefits. On February 19, 2026, Hoory Danial filed the complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, against Maclay Healthcare, LLC and Beecan Health, LLC. The lawsuit accuses these companies of failing to pay overtime wages, provide meal and rest periods, issue accurate wage statements, and other infractions under California’s labor laws.
The plaintiff, Hoory Danial, worked as an Admissions Director for the defendants from October to December 2025. She claims that she and other salaried employees were misclassified as exempt from overtime pay despite regularly working over eight hours a day and forty hours a week. According to the complaint, “Defendants never paid them overtime compensation at 1.5 times their regular rates of pay for those hours worked over 8 in a day and/or 40 in a week.” Instead, they were paid a fixed salary without any additional compensation for extra hours worked. This alleged misclassification violates several provisions of the California Labor Code and Wage Orders.
Beyond unpaid overtime wages, Danial asserts that the defendants failed to provide compliant meal and rest periods. Employees were reportedly required to remain on duty throughout their shifts without receiving bona fide breaks or premium pay for missed breaks as mandated by law. Furthermore, Danial accuses the companies of issuing inaccurate wage statements that do not reflect actual hours worked or gross/net wages earned. Upon termination or resignation, employees allegedly did not receive all due wages promptly—a violation entitling them to waiting time penalties under state law.
Danial is seeking multiple forms of relief from the court: restitution for unpaid wages including overtime and premium pay; injunctive relief prohibiting future violations; equitable accounting to identify owed wages; compensatory damages covering lost earnings; statutory damages; civil penalties; attorneys’ fees; costs of suit; and any further relief deemed just by the court. The case also demands jury trial consideration.
Representing Danial are attorneys Joshua I. White and William M. Hogg from Laurel Employment Law based in Santa Monica. The case is presided over by judges at the Superior Court of California with Case ID VAC UY OOS Ss o6.
